Safety and use ������������������������������

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which
may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the
instructions contained herein.

TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a phone while driving a vehicle
constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit,
headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their phone
when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the
use of wireless phones and their accessories in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited
or restricted in certain areas.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

•You are advised to switch off the phone from time to time to
optimize its performance;

•Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use
on aircrafts;

•If your phone is a unibody device, where the back cover and battery
are not removable, dissembling the phone will void your warranty.
Disassembling the phone can cause bodily injury if the battery is
punctured;

•Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust­free place;

•Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse weather
or environmental conditions, such as moisture, humidity, rain,
infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc. The manufacturer’s
recommended operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to +50°C
(122°F). At over 50°C (122°F), the legibility of the phone’s display
may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious;

This symbol on your phone, the battery, and the accessories
means that these products must be taken to collection points
at the end of their life:

•Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these
items of equipment;

• Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in
the environment, so that their components can be reused.

In European Union countries:

These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.

In non-European Union jurisdictions:

Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into
ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling
and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection
points for them to be recycled.

Radio waves ����������������������������������

THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission
of the US Government (FCC), or by Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED), is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of
body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified
in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJH120
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output of the phone. Before a phone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is 0.58 W/Kg
for use at the ear and 0.76 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with
the handset at least 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://
www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of phones. If individuals are concerned, they might

4 5

choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting
the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep phones
away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about
electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following
website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected;

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed
radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This phone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

•This device may not cause harmful interference;

•This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation,
you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in
positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device
will be compliant with the guidelines when used with a headset or
USB data cable.
If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is
used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 15
mm away from the body.
Please note by using the device some of your personal data may
be shared with the main device. It is under your own responsibility
to protect your own personal data, not to share with it with any
unauthorized devices or third party devices connected to yours.
For products with Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi
networks. Also when using your product as a hotspot (where
available), use network security. These precautions will help
prevent unauthorized access to your device. Your product can store
personal information in various locations including a SIM card,
memory card, and built-in memory. Be sure to remove or clear
all personal information before you recycle, return, or give away
your product. Choose your apps and updates carefully, and install
